SEAT COVER.

Application led March 24, 1923.

TQ all whom t may concern:

Be it known that we, Mannion BAsHKow and ABRAHAM WVYMAN, citizens of theUnited States, residing at the city of St. Louis, State of Missouri,have jointly invented a certain new and useful Improve ment in SeatCovers, of which the following is a specification, reference being hadto the accompanying drawing, forming a part thereof.

This invention relates to a certain new and useful improvement inseat-covers and hasy for its chief object the provision of a comfortableand eflicient combined seat and back cover of simple, inexpensive formand which comprises in its construction e pair of approximately similarpads or mats connected together in aligning relation and for relativefolding movement by means of crosswise disposed, elongated straps or thelike.

With the above and other objects in view, our present invention residesin the novel features of form, construction, arrangement, andcombination of parts hereinafter described and afterwards pointed out inthe claims.

In the accompanying drawing,

Figure l is a side elevational view in outline of an automobile-seat orthe like equipped or covered by a pair of pads foldably connected orattached together in accordance with our invention; and

Figure 2 is an open inverted plan view of a combined seat and back coverembodying our invention.

Referring now more in detail and by re erence characters to saiddrawing, which illustrates a preferred embodiment of our invention, thecover as a whole comprises a pair of substantiallysimilar pads A and Bconstructed preferably of matting or other suitable material ofsuliicient flexibility and softness to conform to the surface outline ofthe particular seat and its back.

with or upon which the cover may be dis posed and be comfortable to thebody of the user, each of the pads A and B being preferablyapproximately rectangular in shape with rounded corners and each hav-.ing referab-ly a marginal or edge binding Flatwise disposed upon, andstitched or otherwise attached at their opposite ends only to, thebinding C at one side edge of each of the pads or mats A and B, are

spaced short strap-sections D-D, whereby each pad or mat A and B isprovidedoi" formed upon a side edge with a pair of aligning suitablyspaced loops.

The pads A and B are when unfolded disposed with theirl said side edgesprovided with the loops D-D in contiguous relation; and stitched orotherwise permanently attained at one` end to the opposite edge of theniet er pad A, is a pair of laterally spaced suitably elongated strapsl-E, which are extended crosswise over the under faces of the pads A andi3. threaded or projected through the contiguous loops D of the pads Aand B. and detachably engaged at their opposite or free ends withsuitable buckles or the like lL-ll provided upon the under face of pad Badjacent the edge thereof opposite its loops D-D, all as clearly seen inFigure 2. rl"he pads A and B are thus in a simple and inexpensive mannerreadily and conveniently secured together for relative folding movementand held loosely but efficiently in alignment both when superposed orfolded one upon the other and when unfolded in use, as in covering aseat and its back, as in Figure l. At the same time, it will be evidentthat the straps E--E may be readily disengaged from the buckles F-F topermit separat-ion of the pads and independent or separate use, as maybe desired, of either or both of the pads.

We are aware that minor changes in the form, construction, arrangement,and combination of the several parts of our new seat-cover may be madeand substituted for those herein shown and described without departingfrom the nature and principle of our invention.

Having thus described our invention, what we claim and desire to secureby Letters Patent is: v

l. A foldable seat-cover including a pair of pads, one side edge of onepad being contiguous to one side edge of the other pad when the cover isunfolded, and means for securing the pads together in foldable relation,said means comprising straps at their opposite ends having attachmentwith the respective distant edges of the pads and intermediate theirends having sliding connection with the continguous side edges of thepads.

2. A foldable seat-cover including a pair of pads, one side edge of onepad being contig-nous to one side edge of the other pad when the coveris unfolded and, means for securing the pads together in oldahlerelation, said means comprising straps having attachment at theiropposite ends with the pads at the respective distant edges thereof,said straps intermediate their ends extending lengthwise looselyacrossthe pads and having loose sliding connection With the continguonsside edges of the pads.

3. A oldalole seat-cover including a pair of pads, one side edge 0In onepad being contiguous to one side edge of the other pad When the cover isunfolded, and nieans for securing the pads together in foldahlerelation, said means comprising spaced loops lined upon the pads at thecontiguous side edges, and straps-at their opposite ends only havingattachment with the pads at the distant side edges of the pads, saidstraps intermediate their ends loosely extending lengthwise across thepads and projecting loosely through, and having sliding connection withthe pads at, said loops.

s. A oldalole seat-cover including a pair of pads, one side edge of onepad 1seing contiguous to one side edge of the other pad when the coveris unfolded, and means for securing the pads together in foldedrelation,

lt side edge of one oic i if y fastened at its other end to and adjacentthe distant side g e other pad, said strap intermediate its endsprojecting loosely through, and

` finding connection with the cons s de edges of the pads at, saidloops. ioliiaoie seat-cover inc'in a pair Ja one side edge of one padheing contiguous to one side edge olA the other pad when the cover isunfolded, and means 'for securing the pads together in 'oldahle realation, said nieans comprising spaced loops upon the pads at their saidcontiguous side edges, a pair of spaced huclles provided upon the faceof' one the pads ace-nt its opposite side edge, and a pair of spacedstraps attached at one end upon the opposite side edge of the other pad,said straps extending crossvvise over the pads and through said loopsand having engagement at their free ends with said buckles.

in testimony whereof, we have signed our naines to this specification.
